If you haven't heard by the end of day Monday, I would contact them Tuesday morning. It took me a few days to get mine, but I submitted over the weekend.

Edit: Also, I assume you have triple checked your spam/junk folder. I had an "application received" email from a different school get stuck there.

Haha, that is the school I had issues with as well. It's like my email filter is trying to tell me something...

Looking back at the threads from the past few years, it seems like a lot of acceptances come out in March and WL's and dings are later (April and into May). For those of us around the medians I think any sooner than March is a bonus.

Just checking in, my status updated to under review today (1/28). I submitted the 3rd of Jan. Is there any consensus on the speed of decision once they have started looking over it, or should I still expect a March ish decision? I just haven't really seen any talk of movement here.

In (some) past years, an update to Under Review meant an acceptance the next day. Sit tight.

Last year people bounced between complete, under review, complete and ready for review, under review again, etc etc, sometimes over the course of months. I'm afraid to say it might not mean anything. Please report back, I'll cross my fingers for you!

I'm still stuck at complete sometime early November (don't remember the exact date off the top of my head), and OOS as well. I would love to hear this week as well, but think most of us will be waiting for a while still.
